Effect of syphaciosis on biochemical and clinical blood parameters of laboratory rats

Abstract

The purpose of the research is to study the effect of syphaciosis on biochemical and clinical blood parameters of outbred rats.Materials and methods. Outbred male rats weighing 180–200 g were examined for helminth eggs by coproovoscopy and a Scotch tape test using a microscope Micromed 1 ver. 2-20. A biochemical blood assay was conducted on a Beckman Coulter DxC 700AU analyzer (USA), and a haematology test panel was made on a PCE 90-Vet analyzer (USA). Fenbendazole was used for preventive dehelminthization. Statistical processing was performed using the software Studet200.Results and discussion. The study results on biochemistry and hematology of the outbred rats’ blood showed a significant decrease in LDH levels and an increase in hematocrit in the animals infected with Syphacia spp.
